Lord willing I'm going to thru-hike this year (March 10 on) and I'm looking for some type of device that allows me to receive and send emails (whether by payphone, internet connection etc.) and write with (i.e. journal), possible also use to send digital photographs. Also, cost is a factor, not that if it costs more for the right equipment I couldn't come up with the money, though it is a criteria. I've seen references to Pocketmail but it looks like their no longer in business. Can anyone point me to something that fits the bill.
